It was blasting cold outside the cave, not nothing could be as cold as Luc's icy heart. He realizes that there was nothing else in the cave. He makes a torch out of parts of the bonfire and uses it to for warm and for his source of light. Torches are also a good deterrent for small carnivorous animals that might be aggressive enough to try and attack Luc along the way.

He steps out of the cave and begins his trek down the Frigid Mountain, on his way towards the cursed ivory tower. His isolation reminds him of his life in the basement of his foster parents. All that he had for company was his sword and the cold. He notices hundreds of birds flying towards Skullenport. In this world, there were no telephones or radios. People used birds to convey messages from long distances. Luc knew something was about to go down. He also noticed the storm brewing over the horizon. He can't get caught by it up here in mountain. No doubt, that he would starve and freeze if he allowed himself to be trapped here by the blizzard.

Luc still feels hate, but he's been given a chance to clear his head. He knows that he needs to do. He must become stronger, strong enough to fight his own destiny. Luc embarks on his journey to Sylvan's Tower.

Three and a half days have passed since Luc left the cave, he was now well passed half way on his journey to Sylvan's tower. By now, the Delvic army have started mobilizing. They've sent 30,000 soldiers west, to rendezvous with this allies in Arcwind. They will pass by Sylvan's tower in under two days. Luc needs to hurry if he wants to get avoid bumping heads with the Delvic army.

On the night of Luc's fourth night of Luc's travels, he encounters a pack of Snow wolves. The wolves have been tracking him for days, and now they've finally caught up with him. Alone, Luc's chances of surviving this event was very slim. But he could not outrun these wolves either. Luc needed to fight or he will be food for these wolves.IMMINENT BATTLE!

Luc was being apart by the wolves. His body is full of wounds that will eventually add to the collection of scars in his body. Although he fought with all he had, it wasn't enough to beat the pack of wolves. He lost to the wolves, but thankfully someone was there to save him. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to see who it was. Luc was also weak from massive blood loss, as a result of his injuries. He fell down on the snow and passed out.

While he was passed out, Luc had a dream. A dream about his childhood back at the hands of his cruel foster parents. He saw their faces right up against his, and felt their sweat covered bodies grind on his chest. Then he dreamt of all the horrible things they had forced him to do. Suddenly, all the pain and feeling of powerlessness came back to him.

His mind did not linger long in his childhood. He soon began dreaming of his late girlfriend Polethea. Only this time, Polythea was strapped on to a bed, much like he was when he was younger, and he had a whip in his hands, similar to the one used by his foster parents on him. In his dream, he would hit Polethea with full strength, causing her to scream in anguish while he laughed. Luc saw himself enjoying inflicting pain on others, on the woman that he loved. As if that wasn't enough, his dream self also got sexually excited and raped the poor girl over and over. He saw a man that looked like him, but it wasn't him, after all he was standing in the corner watching it all happen. Then as the person climaxed, he looked at Luc and laughed maniacally.

Luc felt like he was trapped inside his nightmares. He wanted to get out, but no matter what he did he couldn't wake up from it. The cycle continues, Luc is forced to watch himself become the thing he hated the most, a monster.
